Use Cases

Education

You see it all the time. In classes, in the cafeteria, and everywhere in between, students are constantly on their phones sending text messages. Research shows that they spend an average of 8 hours (male) to 10 hours (female) every day using their cell phones. This helps explains why 90 percent of all messages get read in less than 90 seconds!

It also explains why educational institutions of all sizes are turning to text messaging for schools when they need to get through to students, or improve communications with their parents and teachers. A text message is extremely affordable, but its impact on educational outcomes can be invaluable. Use it to reduce truancy, improve student performance, or minimise administrative costs.

SMS is a powerful tool when you need to get through to your audience, quickly and cost effectively.
